bri-marie I was torn about the epilogue. I liked seeing the new families and stuff, but I thought it felt a bit rushed. What happened during those nineteen years? How has Hogwarts changed? What happened to the Malfoy family? Do people say Voldemort's name now? Is Harry the 'Boy-Turned-Man-Who-Lived', or is he called the 'Chosen One'? When did they all get married? How did Neville wind up with Hannah?Does Harry talk to Dumbledore's portrait on those occasional visits to Hogwarts, or does he ignore him, or does Dumbledore have another portrait and he and Harry talk all the time? Did the world believe him right away about Severus or did he have to fight to prove the truth? How long was McGonagall headmistress? Who took over after her? Who's teaching there now? Are any of Harry's old teacher's still there? I had so many questions (and still do) that never got answered.

LadyNottingham I feel like Bri-marie, I also have this kind of questions in my mind. Maybe it has something to with the fact we are adults ? I felt there were a few loose ends that needed to be tied but JKR left them as such. Like, for example, what happened to Severus' body, just after the final battle. I wrote something about it, because I felt frustrated about that part (yes, Severus is my fav character...) and needed to mourn too. The epilogue left me puzzled. I loved Harry's explanation about his son's given names, that Slytherin was OK, and that Severus was the bravest man he ever knew. At the same time, the epilogue left me with the weird feeling of unfinished business. I needed closure but got none. Or at least not the way I may have needed.

LiptonGold I haven't read the epilogue.

emilykuru yeah! lots of unanswered questions! its frustrating actually!

Gred_and_Forge I love that we got to see that Harry and Ginny & Ron and Hermione got married (although that was a given), but we didn't know if they had kids and how many. I liked that Harry named his kids after important people in his life and that Teddy grew up okay without any major troubles (from what was presented anyways). I didn't like that they rushed it though, just like bri-marie said. There are so many questions I wanted answered. How did the Weasleys feel after Fred's death (especially George's reaction)? When did George and Angelina get married and how did she feel about Fred's death as well (even though they only went to the Yule Ball together, they were still on the same Quidditch team). How did Ron and Hermione take the news when they found out Snape was a good guy? Did they believe Harry straight away or did they still believe he was a bad guy? So many questions I wanted answered D;

dpaisita97 its seems kinda skipped and rushed but i like it.a little predictable, but i like it. i mean i would have preffered that Harry died but someone else manadged to kill Voldemort an Harry would be forever remembered and honered but whatever just my ideas

Ash24 i didnt like it, too rushed, i think J K Rowling could have put more of a story behind it, epsecially with the pairing even if i disagree with them

nany5755 yeah!!bri-marie is right!!
